Boom!
Boundless ocean-like Spiritual Energy suddenly gushed out from the White Dragon Spiritual Pearl and endlessly poured into Mu Chen's body. That feeling of abundance instantly made Mu Chen feel bloated.
The Spiritual Energy within the White Dragon Spiritual Pearl was too boundless.
"I can't absorb it at all!"
Mu Chen's heart secretly trembled. Shortly after, his figure hastily flew out and landed on the closest lightning platform. He quickly activated the lightning platform and thunderclouds condensed on the horizon. However, the thunderclouds this time were clearly much gentler than before.
Naturally, this gentler was only relative. The Lightning Energy in the seventh level of the Lightning Territory was extremely powerful. Even a Heavenly Transformation Stage Initial Phase expert would not be able to endure it. If it wasn't for Mu Chen having some means up his sleeves, he wouldn't even have the qualifications to enter this place.
Pitch-black thunderclouds condensed on the sky above Mu Chen. In the next instant, the thunderstorm descended and struck against Mu Chen's body, leaving red marks. At the same time, the Lightning Energy flowed through the pores on Mu Chen's body and endlessly poured into his body.
When the Lightning Energy flowed into Mu Chen's body, it instantly collided with the boundless Spiritual Energy from the White Dragon Spiritual Pearl. This powerful collision instantly caused an astonishing reaction.
The lightning energy of the Lightning Territory possessed the effect of refining Spiritual Energy. Therefore, when the boundless Spiritual Energy from the White Dragon Spiritual Pearl came in contact with it, the Spiritual Energy started to slowly shrink. As the Spiritual Energy shrank, the colour of the Spiritual Energy became increasingly deep and condensed, to the point that it looked as though it had a substance to it.
With the assistance of the Lightning Energy's refinement, Mu Chen also took a breath of relief. Shortly after, he hastily circulated the Great Pagoda Art and continuously refined the Spiritual Energy that had been condensed.
Thereafter, it poured into his Aurasea and was absorbed by the tiny Spirit that was sitting within.
This kind of training was many times faster than normal training. Furthermore, the most crucial point was that the Spiritual Energy from the White Dragon Spiritual Pearl was pure and without any consciousness. It did not resist against Mu Chen's refinement at all.
This made his training even more smooth, as if the conditions were right.
In the Sea of Qi, the small Divine Soul's body was rippling with light. A steady stream of spiritual power flowed into the Sea of Qi and was swallowed by it.
Along with its frantic devouring, its body started to grow at a slow speed. The Spiritual Energy ripples emitted from its body also grew more and more tyrannical.
The light emitted by the White Dragon Spiritual Pearl grew stronger and stronger. In the end, it almost enveloped Mu Chen's body.
Above Mu Chen's head, the black thunderclouds were constantly squirming. Gentle lightning rain fell from the sky.
It was also continuously pouring into Mu Chen's body, refining the spiritual energy from the White Dragon Spiritual Pearl.
Mu Chen tightly closed his eyes, his expression focused. He merely urged the Great Pagoda Art to continuously refine it.
After that, he didn't take any other measures.
Right now, he only needed to do his best to accept the energy from the White Dragon Spiritual Pearl.
However, he was also a little cautious. Although the increase in his strength was swift and violent, there should be a limit. If he jumped too quickly, it would cause his Spiritual Energy to be unstable. It might even cause his foundation to lose balance. If that happened, it wouldn't be good news for him in the future.
However, right now, everything was still within Mu Chen's control.
This kind of training was already on the right track.
Time passed under this kind of quiet training. Day by day, five days passed in the blink of an eye. The space in the seventh level of the Lightning Territory was rather vast, with sparse population. After all, there weren't many people that could enter this level. Adding on to the fact that the place that Mu Chen had chosen was rather remote, there wasn't anyone that came to disturb his training for the past five days.
During these five days, the Spiritual Energy ripples that emanated from Mu Chen's body had reached a rather powerful degree.
Hualala!
The lightning rain covered the skies and covered the earth as it descended. Below, on a bare mountain peak, a thin figure sat on the lightning platform, allowing the lightning rain that was mixed with the energy of lightning to strike his body.
His clothes had already been turned into dust by the lightning rain over the past five days. A faint silvery lustre appeared on his skin, due to the constant refinement of the lightning energy.
The White Dragon Spiritual Pearl slowly revolved between his palms. Incomparably pure Spiritual Energy endlessly poured into his body, as if there was no end to it.
However, Mu Chen didn't accept this seemingly endless infusion. Suddenly, his eyes slowly opened. As he opened his eyes, lightning surged within his black pupils. The lightning seemed to have formed into lightning as it shot out from his eyes.
At this moment, a powerful Spiritual Energy fluctuation spread out from Mu Chen's body, causing some of the rocks on the ground around the lightning luring platform to be blown away.
Under the Spiritual Energy ripple, even the lightning rain that was pouring down was blocked half a foot away from Mu Chen's body. After a dozen breaths, it once again penetrated through and fell down.
Mu Chen spat out a ball of white air that contained some lightning. His eyes gradually regained their calmness. Shortly after, with a move of his mind, he saw the changes in his aurasea.
Right now, his Spirit had already swelled by a whole circle. Spiritual Energy constantly fluctuated around his body, and within his Spirit, there was an exceptionally powerful Spiritual Energy ripple.
Compared to before, the ripple was several times more powerful. It had far surpassed the Heavenly Fusion Stage Late Phase. However, there was still some distance before reaching the Heavenly Transformation Stage.
Quasi-Heavenly Transformation Stage!
A satisfied smile rose from the corner of Mu Chen's mouth. This time, his strength had undoubtedly increased by leaps and bounds. From Heavenly Fusion Stage Middle Phase, he had directly risen to the Quasi-Heavenly Transformation Stage.
In between, he had directly jumped over Heavenly Fusion Stage Late Phase.
"Quasi-Heavenly Transformation Stage!"
Mu Chen tightly clenched his fists. With a move of his mind, the pitch-black Spiritual Energy that was burning with black flames suddenly swept out like a turbulent wave. Looking from afar, it looked like a huge black smoke signal that soared into the clouds. Even the lightning rain that filled the sky couldn't shake it.
Right now, he was much stronger than before he had broken through.
Mu Chen lowered his head and looked at the White Dragon Spiritual Pearl in his hand. At this moment, the latter had already dimmed a lot. The white mist that was rippling within it was also not as bright as before.
However, the Spiritual Energy within was still not exhausted. Clearly, this was related to Mu Chen's self-control. He did not recklessly absorb the energy left behind by the White Dragon Sovereign.
If he did so, he would definitely be able to break through to the Heavenly Transformation Stage. However, at the same time, it would also cause some detrimental effects to his cultivation foundation. Mu Chen wasn't a short-sighted person that would give up on his future for a small benefit.
He held onto the White Dragon Spiritual Pearl. With a move of his mind, he once again entered the boundless white world. In that place, he saw the White Dragon Sovereign sitting on the white dragon formed by the white mist. At this moment, the latter's figure had also become a lot fainter.
"How rare."
When the White Dragon Sovereign saw Mu Chen, he lightly smiled and said something that others couldn't quite understand.
Mu Chen was also stunned. The rare that the White Dragon Sovereign said, was obviously not referring to him jumping from Heavenly Fusion Stage Middle Phase to Quasi-Heavenly Transformation Stage. After all, even if a fool obtained such an opportunity, it would be a simple matter for his strength to soar to the Heavenly Transformation Stage. His current progress was already considered to be a waste.
"Although the Spiritual Energy that I've left behind no longer has a consciousness, it's still something that I've cultivated. Even if it can be easily absorbed by others, there will always be a slight difference from the Spiritual Energy that I've cultivated."
The White Dragon Sovereign lightly smiled and said, "This difference is extremely small. Perhaps it can be ignored. However, the path of cultivation is extremely harsh. A slight difference might become an obstacle in the future."
"It's truly rare for you to be able to resist the temptation of such a sudden increase in strength."
The smile on the White Dragon Sovereign's face became a little gentler. Mu Chen's actions had indeed made him think highly of him.
Being praised in such a way, Mu Chen was a little embarrassed. He scratched his head and said, "Senior is overpraising me. In this world, only things that are cultivated by oneself are the most reliable. I'm already very satisfied with such an opportunity. If I were to have any more extravagant hopes, I'm afraid that I wouldn't be able to bear such an opportunity."
All these years, Mu Chen's cultivation was steady and his foundation was exceptionally firm. Although the energy left behind by the White Dragon Sovereign was tempting, it wasn't worth it for him to damage his foundation. Although Sovereigns were strong, there would be a day that Mu Chen believed that he would be able to reach the same level as them, or even surpass them!
The White Dragon Sovereign lightly nodded his head as a smear of admiration flashed through his eyes. Shortly after, he patted the White Dragon he was sitting on and said, "This consciousness of mine won't exist for long. The remaining energy in the White Dragon Spiritual Pearl can be left for you to use in the future. Furthermore, if you encounter a powerful enemy in the future, you can detonate the White Dragon Spiritual Pearl. I believe that even if you encounter a Heavenly Completion Stage expert, you'll still be able to escape unscathed."
"Many thanks, Senior." Mu Chen expressed his gratitude from the bottom of his heart.
The White Dragon Sovereign lightly smiled and said, "It's just that I can see that you're different from ordinary people. This consciousness of mine is maintained by the Spiritual Energy in the White Dragon Spiritual Pearl. If you had absorbed all of it in one go, you wouldn't be able to hear what I'm saying right now. You won't have any fate with the things that I've left behind."
Mu Chen was stunned. The things that I've left behind?
The White Dragon Sovereign smiled as he patted the White Dragon he was sitting on. The White Dragon quickly shrunk and turned into a scroll that seemed to be made of dragon scales. On the scroll, there were ancient words engraved on it.
Mu Chen looked over and those ancient words that were like soaring dragons were imprinted into his eyes.
"Soaring Dragon Art."
